Participating Tall Ships take part in a Parade of Sail, Friday, June 14, top, as one of the opening activities for the Tall Ships 1812 Tour festival in Brockville. Large crowds gathered along the waterfront under sunny skies for the event, which also featured a blessing of the ships, and greetings from Chuck and Janet Commanda, in their birch bark canoe, which they made with the help of Thousand Islands Secondary School students. Left, lineups to tour the Norwegian ship, the Sørlandet, were long Saturday morning, June 15. Above, The Empire Sandy sails by. Many activities took place as part of the event, including sail outs, ship tours, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities, and musical entertainment.

EMC Events - The 50th anniversary of volunteer firefighting in Lyn is being celebrated with an open house event this Saturday, June 22. And while the department has certainly evolved, the steadfast loyalty and commitment to community has remained and only become stronger. The open house will take place at the Lyn Fire Hall, 44 Main St., from 1 to 4 p.m. and will offer anniversary cake, refreshments, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games (with junior bunker gear, and props such as a garden hose to simulate firefighting activities), archival materials, firefighter memorabilia and more. The planning committee for this event did its best to contact all fire personnel, past and present with an invitation, and has also posted on its website. Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley Fire Chief Jim Donovan is excited for the open house, and encourages the public to come out and learn more about their local fire department. Going back in history, he explained, once the consensus was reached to establish a formal fire department, there was a meeting with the Office of the Fire Marshal and the town council of the time. Once approval was granted, land was donated by the first fire chief, Dave McCrady (who served as chief from 1963 to 1967). Some funding for the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s establishment was provided

by council, however the community pulled together, and through fundraising auctions and yard sales, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they begged, borrowed or stole to raise the money,â&#x20AC;? Chief Donovan joked. All joking aside however, he noted the community did really work hard to raise the needed monies to build the station and buy the equipment. Elizabethtown Fire Department was established in 1963. Kitley Fire Department was created in 1965. The Elizabethtown-Kitley Fire and Emergency Services was established in 2001, according to information provided by the department. Information provided by Donovan notes the Elizabethtown Volunteer Fire Department was launched June 11, 1963. The first station, located in Lyn served the township at the time, followed by an addition of a station in New Dublin in 1975. Now of course, with the amalgamation of the departments, a third station is located in Frankville. Currently the Lyn fire station responds to approximately 200 calls per year, and has 24 volunteers (at the Lyn station). Overall, the three stations feature 60 volunteers and 14 vehicles, covering 556 square kilometres. Statistics show that in 2012, close to 8,000 hours were spent attending fire and rescue calls, with close to 3,000 hours spent in training. The fire department is also active in terms of fundraising for the community, and regularly features a chicken barbecue, fish fry and MD boot drive. Both the Elizabethtown and the Kitley Fire Fighters Associations â&#x20AC;&#x153;still actively fundraise to assist in the purchasing of equipment, sponsoring local youth recreation activities and donating to local charities (MD). They participated in parades throughout the Counties again this year,â&#x20AC;? reads information provided from the department. The department has also been successful in earning awards on a local, regional and provincial level. The extrication team (which was created in 1999) has competed regionally 13 times and internationally five times. The Fire Fit team came first at Riverfest in 2008, and had the fastest relay team in Ingleside in 2008. At the Canadian nationals it had the fastest volunteer relay team in Canada. The mission statement for the department notes its â&#x20AC;&#x153;primaryâ&#x20AC;? purpose is to, â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide a range of programs to protect the lives and property of the inhabitantsâ&#x20AC;Ś. From the adverse effects of fires, sudden medical emergencies or exposure to dangerous conditions created by man or nature.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire prevention and public education is our best tool in the tool kit,â&#x20AC;? Donovan stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fires prevented is life and property saving.â&#x20AC;? Having said that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those tools thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to measure,â&#x20AC;? in terms of effectiveness. However it is one they are continually staying up on. For example they are working on educating the hearing impaired in terms of smoke alarms. There are new types of alarms which instead of emitting an ear piercing sound instead emit a vibrant light. Donovan has been involved with the fire department for more than 30 years. He notes several members of the fire department have also had lengthy tenures; as long as 45 years. They will be receiving awards from the province in See LYN page 5

Ribfest is four days of fun in Gananoque EMC Events - The Gananoque Rotary and Lions clubs are preparing to launch their eighth consecutive fun-filled 1000 Islands Family Ribfest. The 1000 Islands Family Ribfest is a family-friendly, four day food extravaganza with four Ribber teams from across North America, hungry to compete for the Best Ribs Title, and thousands of people hungry to taste their mouth-watering fare! But that is not all! There are also great musical guests, and activities and games for kids of all ages. You will find all this and much more in beautiful Gananoque, Gateway and Heart of the 1000 Islands. Ribfest has made it possible for the community and visitors alike to enjoy one day or the entire four day weekend and have a great time in Gananoque. Ribfest began as an extension of the Rotary Craft Fair that is still enjoyed by many. A pivotal individual, Jim Boltin, who was both a Rotarian and Lion, was instrumental in promoting the idea of Ribfest. Jim was a driving force in organizing the event for three years. Boltin, who played in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes, was also involved with many activities in the community including local minor football, charity golf tournaments, Pumpganfest and
boating events. Boltin is missed by his family, friends and acquaintances after his sudden passing last year but his spirit and energy lives on in the projects that he supported. The proceeds from this event go directly to the community. Ribfest is a network of volunteers throughout the community who are committed to service. This year the Rotary & Lions Club has once again combined forces and are funding a joint project at the Joel Stone Heritage Park installing a Pirate Playground Structure. A great cause, excellent food, beverages and good times and the perfect way to kick off the summer. Rotary & the Lions Club would like to thank their many sponsors for their continued support for this event and in particular the Town of Gananoque for providing the annual Canada Day Celebration and Fireworks Show. The 1000 Islands Family Ribfest welcomes you to a “smokin “ weekend of fun, food and music so join us at the Gananoque Town Hall Park, Friday June 28 to Monday July 1, starting at 11 a.m. Admission is free.

Front of Yonge Community in Bloom Garden Tour set for July 6: Get your tickets now a quarry that operated in the last century. The rock formations divide the property into a number of natural rooms. Stands of mature maple and nut trees add the rustic feeling in the garden. Cragsmere Garden sits on a bluff of bedrock that rises 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122; above the St. Lawrence. Despite the challenges of gardening on stone and shallow soil the owners have created a lush garden that exhibits colour throughout the entire gardening season. Because the rock dictates where the plants are located the beds twist and wind through the property. A Japanese style tea house is being built on a corner of the garden that has a spectacular view of the river. A Devine Country Garden was designed by a landscape professional but the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habit of purchasing every plant that she sees and likes has turned the garden into a wonderful eclectic in-
formal oasis. Native plants grow beside roses, tree peonies, and a collection of Alliums. The view from each side of the veranda that wraps around the 1896 farm house is different. And towering over everything is the biggest tree in the area, a poplar with a 16â&#x20AC;&#x2122; circumference. The 24 Acre Wood gardens were created with only a shovel and determination to grow healthy, organic food, create an inviting bucolic aesthetic and en-
courage pollinators and wildlife. These charming gardens, best described as cottage style, include many old-fashioned and heirloom vegetables, perennials and annuals. Most of the vegetables and annuals have as in bygone days, been started as seeds. The 24 Acre Wood is a certified CWF Backyard Habitat.
sion price includes a light lunch served at the Front of Yonge Community Centre, admission to all the gardens and the Mallorytown Coach House.
Tickets are on sale at Purcellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freshmart and the Brockville Tourism Office at 10 Market St. W. Brockville, or they can be ordered by calling 613-923-2618. Tickets cost $12 when pur- Proceeds from the tour will be dichased in advance or $15 on rected to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Front of Yonge Comthe day of the tour. The admis- munity in Bloomsâ&#x20AC;?.

rose garden with dozens of hardy roses, a large English style perennial bed, an enclosed geometric herb garden and a hillside rock garden. A series of woodland paths lead past a collection of more than 1,100 Hostas. Retirement Retreat is an elegant, low maintenance garden. The style of this garden is defined by the plantings of numerous shrubs and small trees in every perennial bed. The use of modern varieties of plant material fills the garden with bold splashes of colour. The 1886 barn provides a perfect background for a pallet of yellow, dark red, bright green and variegated foliage. The Art of Tea Herbal Garden was started last year. It contains a wide variety medical herbs and native plants that the owner uses to make teas and salves. Garden beds are nestled under towering granite cliffs and among clusters of large boulders left over from

Neighborhood Rock Garden is in the middle of an apple orchard that was planted in the early part of the last century. Each garden on the property is surrounded by a wall made from stone collected from neighboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fields. The garden beds that have been built in the sunny spaces created when old apple trees died are filled with flowering trees and shrubs as well as annuals and sun loving perennials. Shade loving plants occupy the gardens under the apple trees. Chillane Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2 ½ acres of gardens surround a 166 year stone house. There is a formal

LETTER TO THE EDITOR New CAO announced for TLTI DEAR EDITOR: The Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands is pleased to announce the appointment of Milena Avramovic to the position of Chief Administrative Officer. The appointment will commence on July 8. The council extends a warm welcome to Avramovic as the new CAO and looks forward to the many professional skills and personal qualities that she will bring to the position. The council is confident that Avramovic will enhance the profile of the Township as well as raising the standards of municipal operations. She is highly qualified and uniquely suitable. Avramovic is coming from the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake where she has served as the Director of Community and Devel-
opment Services for the past 18 months. Prior to that, she served as the Senior Advisor of Policy and Government Relations with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario and as the Senior Planner for the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Avramovic has held a variety of portfolios throughout her career and we are fortunate that she will be joining the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands as the Chief Administrative Officer. We ask the community to join with the council in welcoming Milena to our municipality. Sincerely, Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands
EMC Editorial - What a culturally rich region Leeds and Grenville truly is – with upcoming events such as the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival, opening July 13 and running to Aug. 17. Performances of Maid for a Musket (loosely based on Shakespeare’s Love’s Labours Lost) will run in repertory with Hamlet, according to the festival website. Hamlet opens July 17. In Gananoque, Boeing, Boeing A Non-Stop Comedy will be performed by the Thousand Islands Playhouse, beginning June 28 and running to July 27. The Brockville Arts Centre is also offering several shows as part of its 2013 Summer Series – including Abbamania and Night Fever, check out their website for show and ticket details (www.brockvilleartscentre.com). In Spencerville, looking ahead, the Dutch Hill Gallery has plans for its first ever (planned to be annual) art festival on its own premises Sept. 7 and 8, entitled: The Little Town Big Art Festival. In Morrisburg things are already under way for the Upper Canada Playhouse’s 30th anniversary season opener – running until June 30 – ‘Whose Wives Are They Anyway?’ Playhouse management says last year the venue brought in more than 43,000 people to see shows. The 13th annual 1000 Islands Jazz and Blues Festival, put on by the Brockville Concert Association, still has events taking place – tonight the Apex Jazz Band hits the Brockville Legion beginning at 7:30 p.m. (tickets are $25 plus HST), and June 22 the Tapas Lounge is working in conjunction with the festival to present a local favourite – Sue Baker. There is more to look forward to in the fall, as the BCA has already announced its Classical Concert Series. These are but a few of the many exciting cultural events taking place across the region, there are many more happening and in the works. Culture is rich and thriving ready to be taken in.
Mother always put used flour bags to good use EMC Lifestyle - Going into Renfrew to the grist mill with Mother was always a treat for me. I marvelled at how she bartered for a good price on the flour bags, and how she always seemed to come out with a good bargain. The bags were piled willy-nilly in a heap in a corner and if we went early on a Saturday morning, before too many people beat us to it, the selection was at its best. Mother would take off one at a time, examine it closely, and either toss it aside, or put it in a pile by me. My job was to take the bag and fold it into a square so that it, with the others she picked, would fit nicely in the clothes hamper we brought from the farm.

Even our hair was flecked with flour. But since it was Saturday night anyway, our weekly bath and head wash would take care of that. Before they could be made use of, the flour bags had to be washed twice. On Monday morning, they were washed separate from the rest of the laundry, and

The aprons Mother made out of flower bags were enormous. They had long tails to tie at the back, and when I had to wear one to churn for butter, it covered me from chin to my ankles, and lay in a heap around my feet on the floor.

Rick rack braid went on collars of flour-bag blouses to take away the look of where they had come from. The bags had many uses, and the price was just right for those Depression years. And what was known many years later as recycling was just another way of surviving those days when there was no money for frivolities. Although just about everyone at the Northcote School wore flour-bag underwear, with a few ex-
ceptions like my little friend Joyce and bad Marguirite, there were times when I wished there was a better way of getting rid of the hateful dyed printing on just about every pair of bloomers I wore. The answer came one morning when I was dressing for school. I mistakenly put the bloomers on backwards. The printing was still there, but it was less likely to be seen in a game of tag or ball if my skirt accidentally flew up. Ever after I went to the Northcote School with my flourbag underwear on backwards, and no one was the wiser!

A consultant has been hired to assist with transition from a traditional landfill to a transfer station. Further details will be given to residents as quickly as possible. Council tightened the rules on the kinds of garbage to be accepted at the landfill site in 2011 and those rules will be strictly enforced.

No commercial or commercial construction waste is permitted. By-law 2011-07 is available on the township’s website. R0012167425_0620

Shriners International Flag flies over Brockville By DOREEN BARNES
EMC News – On Thursday, June 6, nine members of the Brockville and District Shrine Club proudly met with City of Brockville mayor David Henderson in recognition of International Shriners Day which took place concurrently at Ottawa at City Hall. The day highlighted the wonderful philanthropy this organization does as well as an update on the fundraising effort for the new Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal. A Declaration ceremony by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was scheduled for 10 a.m., with the raising of the Shriners International flag. Shriners, a spin-off from Freemasonry, the oldest, largest and most widely known fraternity in the world, invited the public to talk with clowns, ask questions about their display and watch the Shrine Mini Bikes and the Keystone Kops. Throughout the world, there are 199 Shrine Temples including Germany, Puerto Rica, Mexico with 12 in Canada. New Shriners Hospital for Children
Their compassion for children and their generosity says it all, especially with the large initiative under way in Montreal. A new Shriners Hospital for Children will replace the Cedar Avenue facility providing much needed space. The plan is to have five hospitals on one footprint, sharing a heating system, attached by walkways and will be located at the Glen Railyards off Decarie Boulevard and Highway 40. The building is 207,000 square feet with six floors including 22 single patient rooms and accommodations for parents with a child, research, four operating theatres, ambulatory care services, rehabilitation services, education centre, movement analysis laboratory for clinical-research applications and surgical skills laboratory. This project is the largest construction project underway in Canada since Expo ’67 and is planned to open 2015. The cost is $135 million with all North America Shriners contributing. To foot the bill, Shriners International has donated $97 million with the bal-
ance being raised by various Shrine Temples and Clubs throughout North America, in particular along the Northeastern states and
provinces. Presently, Shriners operate 20 hospitals in North America, one in Canada, and another in Mexico.

Workforce Development Board unveils new website at AGM
Support Small Business Small business provides jobs, tax revenues and many other contributions to our region.
By LORRAINE PAYETTE
EMC Business - The 1000 Islands Region Workforce Development Board (TIRWDB) unveiled a new more user friendly website at their annual general meeting earlier this month. The boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose is to bring the community and its associated partners together with a labour market research and planning process that will serve the entire region, and thereby help find solutions to various local labour issues. Considered to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;catalysts for positive changeâ&#x20AC;? at the community level, the different labour boards have worked hard to bring about positive change and spur growth in their local areas. One of their most important tools has been their website, a way in which communities, employers and local residents can find the information they require to deal with these issues. Gail and Darryl Bradley from Regional Web Portals in Gananoque were on hand at the TIRWDB AGM, at the Glen House in the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands, to unveil the new website they have created for the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new website is more user friendly, easier to navigate,â&#x20AC;? said Darryl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been redesigned to be an internet tool presenting knowledge, facts and data and relevant institutional information regarding supply and demand

Gail Bradley of Regional Web Portals in Gananoque presents the new website at the 1000 Islands Region Workforce Development Board (TIRWDB) AGM on June 5. More user friendly, the site promises to make more information available in an easier fashion. for services and other relevant information. Many government websites have so much information and data that it can be difficult to navigate through them to find the precise information you are looking for.â&#x20AC;? The firm has gone out of its way to design a truly friendly site where information is there for the asking, and finding it is quick, simple and reliable. A quick glance at the home page shows a clean, well
structured area with easily accessible pages for all relevant materials. Nineteen cities, towns, townships and villages are represented under the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Communityâ&#x20AC;? tab, with each being given its own area and access to its own website. Finding material is a simple click through the appropriate tabs, quickly bringing the user to whatever is being sought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is kept nice and clean, easy to read,â&#x20AC;? said Gail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to keep it visually attractive and use what was already available to make the site more useable to visitors.â&#x20AC;? Among the many innovations is a use of available brochures and rack cards, displayed in an easy to read format and making it possible to check out events listings as well as information concerning each municipality. Contact information is available, and a wealth of knowledge can be obtained in a very short time. Already up and running, it is hoped that the greater community will take advantage of it and benefit greatly by all that is now readily available to them. It is believed that it will increase the efficiency of the organization, and improve the rate and way in which people obtain their information. To get a look at the new website, please go to http://www.workforcedev. ca/index.php/en/.

Casper Haupt sets five swim records at Masters meet By DOREEN BARNES
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One local man has made great strides in the swim world. During the Canadian Masters Swimming Championships meet at the Aquatics Centre in the Nepean Sportsplex from May 17 to 20, Casper Haupt dominated the older age swim categories. He set five new records and came away with a second in the 400 meter mixed medley, comprised of two women and two men. Breaking records or setting records seems natural to Haupt, which he has been doing most of his swimming life. His medals were received from placing first in the 50 me-
ter back stroke, 100 meter 90 to 94 age category, 100 meters freestyle, 200 meter backstroke, and 400 meter medley relay. He also received a second in the 400 medley relay. Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 89 years old, he explained why he was able to compete as a 90 year-old category. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a master swimmer they put the year you were born,â&#x20AC;? explained Haupt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like the racehorses. So, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 90 on Nov. 13, this year.â&#x20AC;? Even though this is a highlight for Haupt, he says the next go around is at age 95. Haupt feels that with his swimming three times a week at the Brock-
ville and Area YMCA that he might have a chance. In his training he will swim 300 meters in one routine and 1,000 meters in another. In preparation for a swim meet, Haupt will not swim the day before and if the meet is in the afternoon, he will have a good heavy breakfast of oatmeal, fruit and yogurt. If he feels he needs anything else, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drink an Ensure. Hauptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for swimming started when he was growing up with his younger brother Pete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was about six years old the local mothers got together and took us for swim-

ming lessons at North Western University with a swimming coach,â&#x20AC;? indicated Haupt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did that for a few years and the coach said I had promise in the backstroke, but the free style is my favourite.â&#x20AC;? Haupt was born in Chicago and the family moved 20 miles north, closer to the beach which availed Haupt and Pete the opportunity to swim in Lake Michigan. In their adult life, the Haupts moved from Montreal to North Augusta where Haupt put in a 20 by 40 foot swimming pool which he uses in the summertime. One day when fellow Masters Swimmer Doris McEwen rode by on bicycle, she stopped to talk and asked Haupt to join the team she was on at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yâ&#x20AC;?. As the colder weather set in, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what Haupt did. Haupt likes to challenge himself when he swims and feels very comfortable in the water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the feel of the water and I try to keep my strokes smooth,â&#x20AC;? said Haupt. As for cheerleaders, Haupt said his wife Eileen and their dear friend Doris McEwen are usually at the swim meets to root for him. His advice to young swimmers? Join a swim club.

Fulford Place celebrates 20 years of volunteers EMC News - This June marks the 20th anniversary of the volunteer program at Fulford Place. A reception will be held to honour the current volunteer corps, which includes 11 individuals who joined in 1993 and are still active today – demonstrating 20 years of commitment and community spirit. Over the years, Brockville’s Fulford family were strong supporters of their community. In 1991, their spirit of community culminated in the donation of Fulford Place to the Ontario Heritage Trust. Visitors from near and far were anxious to get a glimpse of the majestic mansion. Two years later, after an extensive restoration, Fulford Place opened as a museum and a volunteer corps was formed. The volunteers have welcomed hundreds of thousands of visitors, worked on exhibitions and in the gift shop, as well as making many behind the scenes contributions. The majority of the volunteers are also members of the Friends of Fulford Place Association, whose work supports Fulford Place by raising funds for projects such as the restoration of the stained glass, the master bedroom, the Italianate Garden and work
on the extensive painting collection. In addition, the volunteers have run many special events, including the successful Edwardian Christmas Tea and the Brockville Ghost Walks. Fulford Place and the Ontario Heritage Trust would like to thank all the individuals who have generously given their time to volunteer over the years. Their contributions have been invaluable in bringing the story of Fulford Place to life. Fulford Place summer hours: May 25 to June 23 – Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 24 to Sept. 1 – Seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Afternoon Tea and lunch featuring new menu items are available in the Tearoom. Summer hours: May 25 to June 30 – Wednesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 2 to Sept. 1 – Tuesday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Reservations are recommended. Fulford Place – a National Historic Site – is owned and operated by the Ontario Heritage Trust, an agency of the Government of Ontario dedicated to identifying, preserving, protecting and promoting Ontario’s heritage.

Woman to put face to mental health in upcoming awareness walk By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca
EMC News - For over 30 years Lynn Sedgwick has been quietly battling mental illness. Until a series of life events forced her to quit her job and focus on getting “crazy” healthy. This month the Williamstown resident will take her story to the streets of eastern Ontario in hopes of encouraging others to get the help they need. Lynn’s Walk will begin June 26 from her hometown of Williamstown, Ont.,
CAN
and will stretch into over 40 communities including Gananoque, Brockville, Prescott, Kemptville, Merrickville, Smiths Falls, Perth, Belleville, and Kingston for a total of about 25 km a day. “It is very inspiring to know that she would come forward and really put a face to mental health,” said Joanne Ledoux-Moshonas, manager of mental health promotion at the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Cornwall office. “Her courage is really going
to help others seek help.” Sedgwick certainly hopes so. She credits the programs at the CMHA and the efforts of her doctor and medication as having an incredible part to play in getting her to the place of independence and actively living with mental illness that she is today. “It’s very helpful to listen to other stories and open up,” Sedgwick added. “CMHA taught me to really cope with my own illness.” That’s why she hopes to raise $10,000

for the Cornwall chapter of CMHA. So far Lynn’s Walk has brought in almost $4,000, including $3,200 from a recent baseball tournament in Williamstown alone. “We have a spectacular community,” Sedgwick said. The eastern Ontario woman’s journey to living with mental illness began when she was about 12 years old. For many years she struggled with an undiagnosed condition until she was in her 30s and was told she had chronic panic disorder and depression. At the time her youngest of two sons was about two years old and she was working full-time as an early childhood educator. She started to work with doctors and take medication to address her condition but things started to get bad once again a little less than two years ago when her doctor instructed her to retire from education to focus on her health full-time. At this point Sedgwick’s symptoms had become so severe that she began cutting herself. “I felt as though it was getting in the way of my life and I wanted the pain to stop,” she said. At first she felt like she was taking a step back in her treatment, but soon discovered the power in walking and the release it gave her. “I spent a lot of time walking and crying when I was walking. A lot of the pain was coming out,” she said. The pain of mental illness is not visible to most, but can be debilitating and daunting to the individual who must battle it every day. For Sedgwick the mornings were the worst time of day. At times she would have a panic attack while still asleep and wake up unable to breathe. These episodes eventually caused her to fear sleep. “There have been days for me where brushing my teeth I’d need a three hour nap,” she said. Sedgwick hopes her walk will not
only encourage others to find the support they need, but also educate those unaffected by mental illness to better understand and be accepting of those who are. “It’s so important to reach out a hand. That in itself can bring you out; it could save a life,” she said. The funds Sedgwick is raising for CMHA will be used to provide prevention education to area high schools, which currently receive no government funding support. “Prevention is intervention,” LedouxMoshonas said. The emotional and physical toll mental health takes on a person can be significant. Sedgwick likens the dips into depression as equivalent to falling down a well. “It’s dark and it’s cold and you know you have a job ahead of you to get out of there,” she said. Many in the community have come forward to help Sedgwick and others with this climb in the year that she’s been planning Lynn’s Walk. A number of provincial parks have offered overnight accommodations, 1000 Islands RV Centre is donating the use of an RV for the duration of the event and the Ambassador Hotel in Kingston has offered a night. In many ways Lynn’s Walk has been an education tool, including Sedgwick herself. “It’s just been an eye opener for me to see the support that’s out there,” she said. If you would like to support Lynn’s Walk and the work of CMHA you can do so by donating online through a secure link to CMHA’s paypal account at www.lynnswalkformentalhealth.weebly.com and select the ‘how you can help’ tab at the top. Updates on her progress throughout the walk can be found on Facebook under Lynn’s Walk or on her blog at the website above.

Canadians don’t expect to be mortgage free until age 57: CIBC poll
SAFETY TIPS Candles: Never leave children or pets unattended in a room with a candle or oil lamp.
L

REALTY INC.
EMC Business - A new CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) poll reveals that Canadian homeowners with a mortgage now believe they will be age 57 on average before paying their mortgage off, compared to age 55 in a similar CIBC poll conducted in 2012. The poll also reveals that while Canadians are taking some positive steps to accelerate mortgage repayment, it is their non-mortgage debt that may be the biggest factor in how quickly they can become mortgage free. Key poll findings include: The average age at which Canadian homeowners with a mortgage believe they will be mortgage free is 57, compared to age 55 in a similar CIBC poll one year ago. Residents of BC had among the longest repayment expectations in Canada at age 59. 50 per cent of Canadian homeowners say their non-mortgage debt (credit cards, lines of credit, etc.) has increased since they first took on their mortgage. These Canadians were also less likely to be making lump sum payments to their mortgage, citing a lack of funds as the primary reason. “Being mortgage free sooner can help accelerate retirement savings, but carrying a mortgage into your late 50s can have the opposite effect and make it more challenging to reach your long term savings goals,” said Colette Delaney, Executive Vice-President of Mortgage, Lending, Insurance and Deposit Products, CIBC. “If your other debts are heading up, your chances to pay off your mortgage sooner are going

down, and that’s why you need a clear plan that takes into account debt management, mortgage repayment, and long term savings.” Other debts hamper mortgage repayment Among homeowners who say they’ve taken on additional non-mortgage debt since they purchased their home, only 11 per cent said they had made an extra mortgage payment in the last year - considerably lower than the 19 per cent who were making lump sum payments among those who had not added to their nonmortgage debt. The primary reason noted by Canadians who were not taking steps to repay their mortgage faster was that they simply did not have the extra funds. “Today’s low rates are a great opportunity for Canadians to drive their mortgage balance down, but the advantage is lost if those extra funds need to go towards repaying higher interest debt instead,” noted Delaney. To minimize your non-mortgage debt and pay down your mortgage faster, CIBC offered the following advice for Canadians taking on a mortgage: Talk to an advisor - Taking your complete financial picture into account when choosing your mortgage can help you pay it down sooner, with particular emphasis on cash flow to help manage the other expenses that come with home ownership. The better you manage the rest of your finances, the faster you’ll be able to pay down your mortgage. Consider a mortgage with both a competitive rate and cash back up front - Moving into
a new home can incur a number of expenses, some of them unexpected. For some homebuyers, it may make sense to consider a mortgage offer that comes with cash back up front as well as a competitive fixed rate. To meet the needs of new homebuyers, CIBC created a mortgage offering up to three per cent cash back plus a competitive rate on a five-year fixed, closed mortgage. The cash up front can help to offset moving and other expenses, and avoid incurring debt early on in your mortgage. Look at reducing your overall interest costs - If you have accumulated non-mortgage debt since purchasing your home, it’s important to look at all of your interest rates and determine your overall borrowing costs. Although you may have a low mortgage rate, your overall average borrowing cost is likely to be higher because of balances on higher interest borrowing options. If you have equity in your home, you may want to consider consolidating your debt with a secured line of credit, like CIBC’s Home Power Plan to reduce your overall interest costs, freeing up some of your monthly cash flow and allowing you to redirect some extra money to mortgage repayment. Results are based on a CIBC poll conducted by Leger Marketing via a Web survey conducted from Feb. 19 to 25, 2013 among a representative sample of 1,503 English- and Frenchspeaking Canadians 18 years of age or older, with a mortgage and responsible for decisions related to their mortgage.

Ontario housing starts climb in May according to CMHC EMC Business - Housing starts in the Ontario region were trending at 57,773 units in May, compared to 56,073 in April, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “As expected, residential construction bounced back from historically low levels in April. Even though housing starts were running above trend, May starts were still better in line with demographic demand in the province of Ontario. More modestly priced housing led the gains as a backlog of apartment structures that sold in recent years broke ground as did row structures in May,” said Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC’s Ontario Regional Economist. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets that can be quite variable from one month to the next. The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 67,429 units in May, up from 46,054 units in April. While single detached construction rose, multi-family
home construction drove starts. The strength in starts was broad based across the province with communities outside of the GTA contributing to this strength. High density construction in Toronto and London drove provincial activity in May. As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions. All starts figures in this release, other than actual starts and the trend estimate, are seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) - that is, monthly figures adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation and multiplied by 12 to reflect annual levels. By removing seasonal ups and downs, seasonal adjustment allows for a comparison from one season to the next and from one month to the next. Reporting monthly figures at annual rates indicates the annual level of starts that would be obtained if the monthly pace was maintained for 12 months. This facilitates comparison of the current pace of activity to annual forecasts as well as to historical annual levels.

Realtors applaud passage of electronic signature amendment EMC Business - The Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) applauds the passage of the 2013 provincial budget that contains provisions which will bring electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale one step closer to reality in Ontario. The budget bill includes an important amendment to the Electronic Commerce Act (ECA), 2000, extending the legal protections of the ECA to include electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale. Currently, Ontario realtors are reluctant to use electronic agreements due to their exclusion from the Act. “This amendment means that realtors and consumers will soon have the confidence to use technology that improves the speed, efficiency and reliability of real estate transactions,” said Phil Dorner, a Windsor area realtor and president of OREA. “This is great news for realtors as well as consumers across the province.” Electronic agreements of purchase and sale improve transaction efficiency by reducing the
time required to complete a deal. “At present, agreements of purchase and sale are often faxed, scanned and emailed numerous times over the course of a transaction,” said Dorner. “This process can be cumbersome and by the time the final version is signed, the agreement can be difficult to read. The technology allows agreements to be filled out on a computer or tablet, changes can be tracked and documents can be transmitted with ease.” It is important to note that the government has included a section along with OREA’s proposed amendment that says it will come into force upon proclamation. This section is meant to allow the government time to speak with various stakeholders, including OREA, about certain matters pertaining to the amendment, such as security measures, in anticipation of the amendment coming into force. “We look forward to working with the government to get this important change proclaimed into law,” said Dorner. “Electronic
agreements of purchase and sale are commonly used in jurisdictions across the United States and it’s about time Ontarians have access to them.” Inspiration for the amendment comes from a private member’s bill introduced jointly by Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi (now Minister of Labour) in May 2012. “OREA would like to thank Minister Naqvi, MPP Smith and Attorney General John Gerretsen for championing this issue on behalf of realtors and consumers. OREA would also like to thank Minister Sousa and Premier Wynne for including this important amendment in the 2013 Ontario Budget.” The Ontario Real Estate Association represents over 56,000 brokers and salespeople who are members of the 41 real estate boards throughout the province. OREA serves its realtor members through a wide variety of professional publications, educational programs, advocacy, and other services, www.OREA.com.

EMC Lifestyle – With summer right around the corner, Ontarians are ready and raring to get outside, fire up the grill, open up the pool and enjoy the sunshine. In preparation of the sunny season, Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association advises homeowners take a few minutes to brush up on some simple tips to ensure a fun and safe summer for the whole family. Here’s a quick guide to backyard safety and additional resources: Pool safety Contact your municipality prior to pool use for information and checklists on pool safety, maintenance and inspections Never leave a child unobserved around water Keep a phone nearby so that you can call 9-1-1 in an emergency Make sure that anyone who cares for your child has CPR and basic first aid training Enclose the pool completely with a self-locking, self-closing fence with vertical bars Ensure basic lifesaving equipment is easily ac-
cessible For more information on backyard pool safety. Please visit the Canadian Red Cross www.redcross.ca Grill safety Place the grill away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches Periodically remove grease or fat buildup Use only proper starter fluid and store the can away from heat sources Check propane cylinder hoses for leaks before use Do not move hot grills Dispose of charcoal properly, keeping ash containers outside and away from combustibles For more information on grill safety, visit the Canadian Propane Association www.propane.ca Sun safety Apply sunscreen with at least a SPF-15 or higher, to all exposed areas of the body Minimize your exposure to the sun between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days and especially after swimming or perspiring Wear clothing that covers your body and shades your face Keep hydrated.

Get Ready for Action at RILTS Film Camp and Delta Documentary and Film Festival By LORRAINE PAYETTE
EMC Entertainment - The third annual RILTS (Rideau Islands and Lakes Theatre School) Film Camp is in the works to be held at the Delta Recreation Centre. “Our 2013 line-up for RILTS Film Camp looks to be the best yet,” says Rachel Marks, owner and director of the school. “Campers will work in groups to make a film based on a common theme - to be chosen via contest - and will then get the opportunity to view these films at the third annual Delta Documentary and Film Festival. Camp also includes theme days and lots of fun, summer activities.” The program covers everything from writing your own screen play to make-up, costumes, lighting, sound, camera work and more. Tuition costs for the day camp program are $30 for a one week, program, $60 for two weeks. There will be four sessions, running as: - Session 1 - July 8-12 - one week introduction - Session 2 - July 15 - 26 - two weeks - Session 3 - July 29 - August 2 - one week intensive - Session 4 - August 6 - 16 - two weeks “We divide camp into one and two week sessions in order to give flexibility to busy fami-
lies,” says Marks. “The registration costs go directly to hiring local teenagers who act as the Production Managers/Camp Counsellors, and into equipment for the camp.” This year RILTS is looking for Production Assistants/Junior Campers. Those who are between 13 and 16 and would like to get experience and community service hours, may phone 613-928-3457 or go to the website at www.rilts. ca. At the end of the program, the films go to the Delta Documentary and Film Festival. The program has broadened to include different kinds of films, not just documentaries. “The Delta Documentary and Film Festival is open to submissions by filmmakers aged 8-18 from around the world,” says Marks. “Movies must not exceed the established time listed on the entry form, and must conform to the year’s theme. All films must be submitted on DVDs.” DVDs cannot be returned, so those who enter should ensure they have extra copies. Camp fills up fast, so please get applications in early.

Reminisce, Reconnect and Relive: memories of BCI celebrated By DOREEN BARNES
EMC Entertainment - More than 650 people registered to attend the Brockville Collegiate Institute’s 125th anniversary celebration which took place last month in Brockville. Friday, May 24 was reserved for a Pub Night Social at various locations in the city. On Saturday, May 25, as the alumni picked up their registration packets upon entry to BCI, many wandered the halls, viewed the memorabilia, video slideshows, picture collages and peaked into classrooms to remember yesteryear. For this occasion, people travelled from Florida, California and other Canadian locations. As 11:30 on Saturday approached the auditorium, including the balcony, filled to capacity to officially mark the reunion. Speeches flowed starting with Greg Pietersma, chair of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) wherein he referred to his parents graduating from BCI 50 years and 40 years before that his grandparents graduated from the same school. “It’s hard to think of Brockville and not to think of BCI,” said Pietersma. “The values of tradition, loyalty and teamwork were firmly built into its fabric.” As for David Thomas, director of Education at the UCDSB, he referred to the reputation of BCI. “This school enjoys an unbelievable reputation and I would argue with some people that it is not the brick and mortar,” said Thomas. “It’s the relationships that are built inside the school.

The third was character of the school through the teachers, students and community, and finally the spiritual aspect of kindness and caring for all. Former graduate and Brockville mayor David Henderson welcomed all to the city and talked about the changes that have taken place at BCI. “It has changed,” said Henderson.
“It’s not just the building; it’s the programming that’s going on in this school. If you were attending this school today, you would find that there’s a strong French Immersion program and an international presence, who would have thought that. It adds to the school and the community.” As Henderson left the stage, the band, comprised of past and present musicians, included Howard Alexander played. Alexander created a newer arrangement of the old BCI song, which was sung tenor by Chris Coyea. When BCI committee members co-chairs Cheryl Donovan and John Cristello took the stage, they thanks
those who travelled from afar and announced the new trust fund to support further opportunities for future BCI students. “To date we have raised $40,000,” said Cristello. “The goal is $50,000.” Donovan indicated that it has taken two years to coordinate this celebration. “It took more than just John and I,” said Donovan. “We are only two of a committee of 22 former staff and students; 125 students and staff volunteers and countless community volunteers that share the same passion and commitment to this school as we do. It took not only the BCI community, but the Brockville community to bring us all together
today and for that we extend a most sincere welcome.” A special presentation of a plaque in recognition of the former music teacher William (Bill) Tufford was given to Judy Quick who had taken over as music teacher at BCI. This plaque will be placed on the Hammond organ that Tufford used years ago. The Brockville Concert Band has taken on the task of restoring this piece. Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, the proceedings came to an end with the BCI cheerleading team leading the present, past and future students in chanting Oskee Wee Wee.

Canadian Tire Brockville Rotary Golf Classic
T
he afternoon draw is already full and there are limited spots available for the morning draw that starts at 7:30 AM for the Ninth Annual Canadian Tire Rotary Golf Classic taking place at the Brockville Country club on Wednesday, July 10th. at 12:00 PM. Hockey legend and Hall of Famer Gerry Cheevers will be attending this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. He was a member of the Boston Bruins for both the 1970 and 1972 Stanley Cup winning teams, gaining a reputation as a driven, â&#x20AC;&#x153;moneyâ&#x20AC;? goaltender. In 1972, he went undefeated in 33 consecutive games, a NHL record that still stands. Cheevers also played for Team Canada in the 1974 Summit Series against Russia. Three lucky foursomes will have the opportunity to golf with Gerry this year! â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are aiming to raise $60,000 said Catherine Deplaedt, Rotary director and Brockville Canadian Tire co-owner with husband Bill, the title sponsor for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our theme this year is For the Kidsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year we like to pick one prominent community project or group to sponsor; last year we gave $25,000 to the Revitalization of Rotary Parkâ&#x20AC;? indicated Deplaedt. This year the goal is to donate another $30,000 towards the Rotary Park project. The Brockville Rotary Clubs have committed $100,000 towards the first phase of the Rotary Park Revitalization. In keeping with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the Kidsâ&#x20AC;? theme, Rotary will be donating $5,000 of tournament proceeds to the Brockville Canadian Tire Jumpstart Chapter sponsoring local children in sport and recreation where they otherwise would not be able to afford to play. For the second year in a row Canadian Tire Brockville will match the $5,000 donation from Rotary for a total $10,000 contribution to the chapter. All that money stays right here in Brockville for kids who cannot afford sports and recreation. In 2013 the Brockville Jumpstart Chapter helped 659 area children get in the game. Jumpstart works with community partners Making Play Possible and the Brockville and Area YMCA to get local children into various sporting activities including soccer, baseball, dance, hockey, and others. Funds also pay for memberships at the YMCA and support the Swim to Survive program for local grade 3 students. The remaining tournament proceeds will fund other local and international causes supported by The Rotary Clubs of Brockville. Rotary is very active in the community, some examples of their work include organizing the annual Brockville Santa Claus Parade; the annual Brockville and Area Food Bank fall Food Drive; sponsoring the EarlyAct Club at Vanier Public School; Participating in the Annual Community CleanUp Day, providing weekly grocery deliveries from Brettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valu Mart to shut-in seniors; providing labour to pack food boxes for Canadian Aid for Chernobyl; sponsoring Brockville secondary school students to participate in adventures in technology and citizenship programs coordinated by the Ottawa Rotary Clubs. Rotary also awards five $500 student scholarships, one to a deserving student from each of our five Brockville Secondary Schools. Participants will be treated to a delicious lunch donated by Kelseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant with a shot-gun start at 12:00 p.m. using a scramble format for best ball. Each golfer will receive a surprise gift donated by Canadian Tire Brockville and their foursome will have their photo taken. While on the course golfers will be treated to a hot dog snack plus various interactive events. Events include; chipping a rubber ducky, HoleIn-One sponsored by 1000 Islands Toyota on each par 3, as well as a chance to win a Sandals trip. The 156 golfers will be supporting both local and
International causes with registration fees being BCC member $115, non-members $175, foursome BCC members $460 and foursome non-members $700. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brockville Scotaibank branches will match the golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registration fee, up to $5,000 stated Deplaedt. If you cannot attend the golf portion of this event, please join us for the evening activities said Deplaedt itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best part of the day! Rotary invites all nongolfers to attend the evening portion of the event. For $50 a person there will be complimentary wine and cheese starting at 5:00pm, followed by the banquet dinner and gigantic silent auction and entertainment by the band Full Nelson. Companies can also purchase a table of eight individuals at $400. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year there were over $60,000 in retail items indicated Deplaedt. This year it is truly a huge, huge silent auction including
items such as: Autographed hockey jerseys of Jean Beliveau, Johnny Bower, kitchen appliances, tools, sporting equipment, Senators tickets, golf green fees, treadmills, BBQ, bikes and so much more. Live auction items include thanks to our Title Sponsor, Canadian Tire Brockville a youth ATV and a golf trip for four to Tucson Arizona courtesy of
Merit travel. There are still many sponsorship opportunities available for this great community event from the Platinum $10,000 level right down to a $50 Golf Cart sponsorship to simply donation items for the large silent auction.

BCA launches Classical Concert Series for the fall 2013 “He’s happy to come back,” she said. I Musici De Montreal is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2013, and one of its performances during this anniversary year will be in Brockville. The 15 musicians who make up the orchestra play music ranging from baroque to contemporary. The fourth and final concert in the series features the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Brass, bringing the audience a holiday concert. The TSO Brass are actually stepping away from their “regular duties as members of Canada’s finest orchestra to bring you a concert filled with virtuoso performances and a phenomenal sonic experience,” notes the BCA’s promotional materials. Samia O’Day, co-chair classical, explained this performance has been done in other cities and it has packed the house. “We are striving for, we are going for the best, that is all there is to it,” noted Bouillot of the series.

EMC Entertainment - The Brockville Concert Association launched its Classical Concert Series for Fall 2013 at a special press event earlier this month. Celebrating 66 years, the association believes this year’s installment will be “exceptional.” It begins with the Cecilia String Quartet, Sept. 28, followed by Anton Kuerti (pianist) Oct. 26, I Musici De Montreal 30th anniversary Chamber Orchestra Nov. 6 and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Brass holiday concert Dec. 17. Marie-Helene Bouillot, co-chair of classical for the BCA, was all smiles and enthusiasm in announcing the acts. This year’s vision is very similar to that of 66 years ago, she noted, “to present the very best series in Canada for a smaller series,” to be proactive and attract the talent to Brockville. Subscriptions for the four concert series is $125 (plus HST), for the four concerts, or three concerts (choose three of the four) for $95 (plus HST). Early subscription for four concerts before June 29 will cost $120 (plus HST). All concerts take place at the Brockville Arts Centre starting at 7:30 p.m. Individual shows are $35 (plus HST). Last year, as it was their 65th year, subscriptions were up “big time,” and it is hoped that enthusiasm will grow for this year’s series. The objective is for subscriptions to increase to the level they were at five years ago, Bouillot said. The first performance comes from, as mentioned, the Cecilia String Quar-

TISS student selected as a Grand Marshal for Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival EMC News – A champion of gay rights in Brockville has been selected as a Grand Marshal of this year’s Vancouver Pride Parade and Festival. Brandon Timmerman, a Grade 12 student at Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS), learned he had been selected after supporters of the festival heard him speak at a recent conference on engaging youth in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual and Queer (LGBTQ) movement. They were also impressed by his work championing the cause in a small city as a key organizer of Brockville’s first Pride parade two years ago.
“I was shocked,” said Timmerman after news of the honour reached him recently. “People were nominated from all around the world, and I was selected from little old Brockville. I am very honoured because Vancouver draws nearly three quarters of a million people to the Pride festival every year.” Timmerman’s duties will include making guest appearances at Pride events held throughout the week leading up to the Aug. 4 parade. TISS Principal Don Lewis said he is proud that Timmerman has been selected for the honour.“I think it is excellent that
he is getting this recognition,” said Lewis. “It speaks to all the hard work that Brandon has done, not just in school here but in the Brockville community.” Timmerman began his activism three years ago after losing a close friend because of issues surrounding sexual orientation. He reacted by organizing the first Pride parade in Brockville in July 2011, and he is a key organizer of the third annual event, to take place on July 20. The parade is expected to attract 1,000 spectators and participants. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

EMC News - The Town of Gananoque has become the beneficiary of some wonderful new projects courtesy of the “Stewards of the Trail Project” at Gananoque Intermediate and Secondary School (GISS). “GISS received a grant of $7,000 for work on trails from Lowes Building Supply and Skills Canada,” said John MacLeod of the trails committee. “They have produced some amazing projects for the trail, among them being a bench, birdhouse, a step-up at the bridge over the Gananoque River, several beautiful boardwalks, and various signage.” “This represents the culmination of a great project to bring some support to the school, to expose our students to the trade and to connect, most importantly, with our local trail system,” said Chris Boston, principal at GISS. “This helps bring us out to the trails to see what nature provides us and to see how we can contribute.” Many local dignitaries came out for the event, including deputy mayor Anne Warren, members of the Trails and Urban Forest Committee Peter Murray, John MacLeod and John Cornish, representatives of Lowe’s, the UCDSB and students and teachers from GISS. “We hope that the asset of these trail additions will get the youth of the community interested in the trails,” said Peter Murray. “That’s our big objective. The trails are there to use for exercise, for nature, for the benefit of all.”
John MacLeod couldn’t have agreed more. “Trails are really a very important part of this community,” said MacLeod. “They promote a healthy lifestyle and help not only build an environmental ethic, but also provide economic benefits. These are really important. The trails run throughout the entire greater community, and the Biosphere Network is very interested in making this area a trails destination. We hear more and more about a disconnect between young people and the environment. The trails and their use can help bridge that gap.” Students were taught that stewardship meant taking responsibility for not only what was here now, but how it would affect the future. They took great pride in their accomplishment as they presented a well crafted bench to the community. “We were told that these projects would be for the community, and that people from all over would be able to enjoy these projects when they come here,” said Cody Newman, GISS student and member of the “Stewards of the Trail Project”. “This bench helps bring together a showing of the goodness of the community here. The wood-shop and construction classes at GISS came together and worked on these projects given to us, and in the end, we were able to give back to the community.” More projects, including boardwalks and several more benches, are under construction and will be placed along the trail by the end of June.

Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council ready to take on projects By CONAN de VRIES
EMC News - The Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council had the rug pulled out from under it late last year, but it’s back on its feet now and ready to run. “We’re still alive and well, and we still want to take on projects,” says council secretary Amy Mackie. In the fall of 2012, it was announced that the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) would no longer provide funding for the 46 stewardship councils in Ontario. Even more troublesome, perhaps, there would no longer be an MNR liaison assigned to the councils to help with organization and administration. “It was a hard slog going through the transition,” says Mackie. Go through it, they did, though, and now the Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council is up and running as if nothing had changed. “We haven’t skipped a beat so far,” says council member Karen Brown. The council is made up entirely of volunteers, 15 in total at the moment, and each one has had to step up his or her contribution a little bit to compensate for the lack of government support, but so far, all of the council’s programs are continuing without much difficulty. Funding for the council’s conservation and outreach activities is now provided through private donations and program-specific fundraising, which is no more than business-as-usual for the LeedsGrenville Stewardship Council. Even when it was receiving money from the MNR, the local group managed to raise $5 on its own for every one dollar it received of provincial funding. “It’s working out quite well so far,” says Brown. The council will continue to prosper as well because of a new relationship it has forged with the Rideau Valley Conservation Association, which has graciously agreed to lend the council its considerable capacity for logistical and administrative support. Sharing a raison d’etre and a common interest in the local land, air and aquatic environments, the partnership is an obvious one and may well lend itself to more ambitious projects than either organization would have undertaken on its own. “We do a lot of the same programs and projects,” says Brown. “They were quite pleased to help.” With the transition from MNR leadership to local direction over and done with, the Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council is free to continue its many conservation and education programs without interruption.
For example, the council continues to deliver the Trees Ontario program in this area and works regularly with local landowners to plant trees on marginal and otherwise unused land. Last year, the council planted nearly 80,000 trees for 13 different private landowners, who pay a nominal fee for the service. “It’s a pretty good deal,” says Brown. “It’s a fabulous program.” And the council volunteers don’t just drop in any old trees. Members of the council draw on a great deal of experience and expertise to determine just what species would best thrive at a given site and make a point of diversifying the planting. “It’s like planting a forest, not a plantation,” says Mackie. Sustainable forestry, however, is but one of the many areas in which the council is very active. Another involves the protection of the region’s delicate aquatic ecosystems, particularly in the area of Charleston Lake. With the support of the Charleston Lake Environmental Association, council volunteers work to rehabilitate wetlands and preserve shorelines while keeping the many waterways feeding Charleston Lake free of contaminants. The council has erected more than 16 kilometres of exclusion fencing along creeks and streams running through local farmland in order to keep cattle from dirtying the waters. Special pumps have been installed so that cattle may still have access to the water but with no opportunity to soil it. A similar project is ongoing in the community pasture near Athens. Working with the Leeds Community Pasture Association, the council has helped protect and nurture the 1,500 acres of land. Four kilometres of exclusion fencing has been installed, three water crossings built, several solar powered watering systems put in place and nearly 5,000 shrubs and trees planted. Species-at-risk is another key focus of council activities, and the group has several different programs in progress, including a nesting box project to help bolster the population of gray rat snakes and an ongoing study of the elusive but fascinating Chimney Swift, a peculiar bird that resides in chimneys and hollow trees and whose numbers are diminishing. “It’s a really cool bird,” says Mackie, who says the council could always use more help from the public in locating additional Chimney Swift lairs. Anyone interested in learning more about the Leeds-Grenville Stewardship Council, taking part in the tree-planting program or volunteering to help in its efforts is invited to check out the group’s website at lgstewardship.ca.

If Clark can’t stop Zod all of humanity will be wiped out. Man of Steel has a lot going for it. The scope of the story is epic as it attempts to give the audience insight into who Superman is and the events that make him a hero. It’s thrilling, exciting and larger than life. The cast is flawless. I loved Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Russell Crowe is a fantastic choice to play Jor-El, and Kevin Costner and Diane Lane are perfect as the Kents. Of course the film is nothing without Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon. Cavill is a truly great Superman, and as every hero needs his villain, Cavill has Shannon who delivers a brilliant performance. The special effects are mind blowing. This is how a Superman movie should look and feel. This is how gods wage war among mortals. It is stunning from the first look at Krypton to the final battle that levels half of Metropolis. With all that’s good in Man of Steel it is a shame the film is so choppy. It jumps all over the place. Snyder needs another 20 minutes to make his scene transitions smoother, but he doesn’t have it. On top of that the fight scenes are incredibly hard to follow. I understand Snyder wants his Kryptonians to be god-like, and has them moving at godlike speed, but you have to remember your audience is mortal. A little slow motion and a few freeze frames would have gone a long way. Man of Steel is great spectacle but the execution is a little off. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

MOVIE: Man of Steel STARRING: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Russell Crowe, Diane Lane, Kevin Costner and Michael Shannon DIRECTOR: Zack Snyder RATING: PG EMC Entertainment - Man of Steel is an ambitious and daring retelling of Superman’s story. It’s a true spectacle, but Zack Snyder may have over-reached. Snyder begins on Krypton with Kal-El’s birth, and the events that force his parents, Jor-El (Russell Crowe) and Lara Lor-Van (Ayelet Zurer), to send him to Earth. We then get glimpses of Clark’s (Henry Cavill) time growing up with his adopted parents, Jonathon Kent (Kevin Costner) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane). We also watch him make his way through the world alone until he finds a piece of his past. Clark learns that the military has found a crash site. Clark explores the site, and discovers an ancient Kryptonian scouting craft. Once onboard he inserts a small control key from his own space ship and meets his father. The holographic recording of Jor-El’s consciousness teaches Clark about his past, the destruction of Krypton and the crimes of General Zod (Michael Shannon). Zod and his commanding officers survived the destruction of Krypton, locked away in the Phantom Zone. When Krypton exploded Zod and his people were freed. They soon began searching the galaxy for a way to rebuild Krypton which is why they’ve come to Earth. Zod would use Clark, and the genetic information locked inside him, to rebuild Krypton.

EMC Lifestyle - This is an easy summer entertaining brunch idea. The parfaits can be made ahead to allow for relaxed and easy entertaining. Wheat berries are a true whole grain. They are loaded with nutrients; add a slight crunch and subtle nutty flavour to the parfait. Layers of luscious, creamy whipped ricotta, chewy wheat berries, slices of Ontario strawberries and maple syrup for sweetness, will have everyone endlessly dipping their spoons and clanking the bottom for more. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Standing Time: 12 hours Cooking Time: 90 minutes Serves: 8 Ingredients · 1 cup (250 mL) wheat berries · 2 tbsp (25 mL) packed golden brown

Non-stop comedy flies into Thousand Islands Playhouse EMC News - Prepare to fly up, up and away with the Thousand Islands Playhouse! On June 28, the curtain rises for their co-production of Boeing Boeing. This fast-paced farce written by Marc Camoletti takes place in Paris in the 1960s and invites you into the home of Bernard (Brett Christopher), a successful architect who has been juggling three air-hostess fiancées (Krista Colosimo, Tess Degenstein, Alison Deon). With his meticulous planning and the help of his disapproving housekeeper (Anita Wittenberg), Bernard has always ensured that at any time, one woman was taking off, one landing, and one on the ground. But with the introduction of quicker planes and updates to each girl’s timetable, Bernard and his friend Richard (Kirk Smith) will have to move faster than a 747 to navigate the hilarious turbulence ahead! “This classic French piece (complete with slamming doors, illicit kisses, and physical comedy galore) will leave audiences in stitches!” says Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran. Boeing Boeing is the first show to be produced as a co-production with Western Canada Theatre in Kamloops, B.C. – a relationship which will continue with many future productions. During this co-production, the two theatres are working together, sharing costs, and combining some of the best talents from both provinces, all directed by WCT’s Daryl Cloran. When the show has finished its run at the Thousand Islands Playhouse, the cast, costumes and even set will pack up and travel to British Columbia and remount for Kamloops audiences to enjoy. With a team comprised of actors and designers from both Ontario and British Columbia, audiences can expect several returning faces as well as many new ones. Show times are Tuesday – Saturday 8 Photo by CONAN de VRIES Photo by CONAN de VRIES p.m.; Matinees: Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday Jessica McEachern, of Huff Estate Wineries, pours a glass of Paul Toor, of Brockville’s Tandoori Mint, tends to the delicious In- 2:30 p.m. (starting the Sunday after opening night). white during last weekend’s 1000 Islands Wine and Food Festi- dian cuisine he prepared for the many people who attended last Book online at www.1000islandsplayhouse.com val in Brockville. or call the Box Office at 613-382-7020. weekend’s 1000 Islands Wine and Food Festival in Brockville.

To become a ‘player’– always be sure to evaluate your game EMC Sports - If you are still seriously interested in becoming a ‘Player’ in this game, read on, if not your bus stop ends here. So what’s the next step in this progression? Well for starters we’re going to introduce you to charting your own game. The pros have this done for them electronically. You want to find out how many fairways you hit with a driver, fairway wood, hybrid or even with an iron in your hands. Do you miss the fairways to the left or to the right? Also remember if your ball doesn’t end up in the fairway, you can’t move it or fluff it up. You will get that luxury if your ball ends up in the fairway, that is if your course allows you to. For approach shots, evaluate this segment from various distances such as under 60 yards, 61-80 yards, 81-100 yards, 101-120 yards and so on and
so forth. Also track as possible. That is to what clubs you used hit your chip, pitch, or from those different sand shot and then distances. Are you step up and make the missing the greens putt. That’s getting up to the left or right, and down. John Ryan are you hitting your This then leads us approach shots long into putting. It’s nice or short? to chart how many putts you have per Well if you are missing greens, this round but this is a very misleading means you will either be pitching, stat, in fact the PGA hardly puts any chipping or your playing out of the emphasis in it anymore. Why? sand. A golfer aims to hit the green in And yes there is a difference regulation – that’s one shot for a par between chipping and pitching. Chip three, two shots on a par four and three shots are used when you are under 10 shots required for a par five. And for yards or so off the green, pitch shots every par on your scorecard, you are are usually used when you are between allotted two putts for every green. 10-70 yards off the green. Two putts on every hole adds up to When everything is said and done, 36 putts. With that being said, if you your main focus with your short game don’t hit a lot of greens in reg then you (chipping, pitching and sand play) is are relying a lot on your short game. to try and get up and down as much If your short game is half decent you will most likely one-putt a lot of those greens. Can you see why the pro tours GARAGE SALE GARAGE SALE GARAGE SALE GARAGE SALE don’t put a lot of stock into this stat anymore?

Here I am transferring my Round Evaluation sheet information to my Round Summarization Sheet. These Round Summarization Sheets hold up to 10 rounds. Once it is filled go over it and you will see what part of your game needs the most attention. This practice will certainly get you to ‘Player’ status sooner rather than later. on those weaknesses in their practice sessions. Most of the time the weaknesses have more to do with their short game and putting then it has to do with their long game. So let’s get started here by charting your next 10 rounds, you’ll probably surprise yourself as to which areas of your game will need the most work. I used to make my competitive guys chart at least six to eight rounds per month and, trust me, it paid off. My tournament players never had the discrepancies in their scores as a lot of our young players around here have
today. My players wouldn’t shoot 72 one day and 88 the next. If they did there are some serious issues with their games. If you need any help with this, I would love to hear from you. I have sheets that I had my players use while they were playing. That way the information is still fresh in your mind. Good luck with this.

Hunter, left alone in parking lot , ready to run now EMC Lifestyle - Late one evening Hunter was discovered discarded in the shelter parking lot with a bowl of food and a note telling us what his name was. It was very fortunate that one of our staff had come by to check on some kittens only to notice the dark shape of a cat hunched in the empty parking lot. Luckily, Hunter was friendly enough to be able to be picked up and taken into the shelter. Had it not been for the staff member coming by when she did Hunter would surely not have been found in the morning. And that would have been such a shame, because Hunter is a sweet, big, gorgeous black panther of a cat. He adores people and will purr so much when petted he starts to drool. His eyes would melt your heart. He will make a wonderful companion. Hunter is about eight years old. Long may he run! To meet Hunter please visit him at the Gananoque and District Humane Society shelter at 85 Hwy 32 just north of Gananoque & the 401. Hours are 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Saturday. Email us at www.humanesociety@bellnet.ca or phone 613-382-1512. If you wish to support our efforts to help the helpless, please save this date: Saturday June 22. We’ll be hosting our second annual Gently Used Clothing Bazaar at the Gan Legion between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. We have racks and racks of higher end clothing and accessories including jewellery plus a vintage collection all awaiting your discovery. For more information please call 613-923-1953.

Mother Nature shines down on speedway Saturday night By CRAIG REVELLE Finish Line Web Design
EMC Sports - After two consecutive weeks of questionable weather, Mother Nature finally treated race fans and drivers with a beautiful evening on Saturday night at Brockville Ontario Speedway. A full program was in store, with the 358 Modifieds, Sportsman, Street Stocks and Rookie Sportsman as well as a special 25-lap Jiffy Muffler Rookie series race. After winning on opening night, Brian “Slim” McDonald has battled some bad luck, and being at the wrong place at the wrong time. His recent misfortunes earned him a front row starting spot in the 30-lap main event alongside Luke Stewart. Mc-
Donald jumped out to the lead early and checked out on the field, slowed only once by a lap 25 caution as Steve Bilow spun in turn 4. When the race resumed, McDonald continued to set the pace, and picked up his second win of the 2013 season ahead of Tim O’Brien, Luke Whitteker, Danny O’Brien and 358 Modified Rookie Ryan Arbuthnot. The Sportsman division has been dominated by Shane Pecore early in 2013, with three feature wins out of four starts going into Saturday night’s program. It was Doug O’Blenis and Dana Aikins leading the field to the green flag in their 25-lap main event. O’Blenis had the advantage early, leading the way until lap 13 as Shane Pecore
worked his way to the front after starting from the 15th position. Pecore grabbed the lead and never looked back, rebounding from a nasty flip last weekend at Cornwall. O’Blenis crossed the finish line in second place, followed by Kenny Polite, Jon Mills and Chris Herbison. Derek Cryderman scored his first win of the season at Brockville in the Street Stock division while Yan Racine made a last lap, last corner pass on a slowing Corbin Miller to score his first ever BOS feature win in the 25 lap Jiffy Muffler Rookie Series main event. Jamie Young also scored his first win in the Rookie Sportsman feature. Join us this coming Saturday night, June 22
as Coca-Cola presents the first appearance of the season for the Go Nuclear! Late Model Series plus the Modifieds, Sportsman and Rookies as well as the Rookie Sportsman division. Pit Gates open at 4 p.m., grandstands open at 5 p.m. and race time is 7 p.m. With the World of Outlaw Late Models in the area, don’t be surprised to see a special guest or two behind the wheel of Crate Late Model on Saturday night at the BOS. Modifieds: Brian McDonald, Tim O’Brien, Luke Whitteker, Danny O’Brien, Ryan Arbuthnot, Lee Gill, Kyle Dingwall, Pat O’Brien, Brian Rogers, Bobby Herrington, John Mulder, Jason Riddell, Joe Banks,
Luke Stewart, Steve Bilow, Stephane Lafrance, Dave Austin, Andy Lloyd. DNS: Adam Moore Sportsman: Shane Pecore, Doug O’Blenis, Kenny Polite, Jon Mills, Chris Herbison, Steve Barber, Jason Shipclark, Ryan Poole, Bruce Makinson, Sheldon Hoogwerf, Rickey Thompson, Dana Aikins, Brian Comeau, Aaron Pugh, Dylan Breen, Dylan Evoy, Tabatha Murphy, Johnathon Ferguson, Jessica Power Novice Sportsman: Jamie Young, Josh Powers, Chris Bakker, Jeremy Coulter, Tristan Draper, Jasmine David, Richard Raison Street Stocks: Derek Cryderman Rookie: Yan Racine
TISS receives top overall honours at Upper Canada Sports League Track and Field Championship EMC News – The top intermediate athletes from across the Upper Canada District School Board gathered at Thousand Islands Secondary School (TISS) last week for the Upper Canada Sports League Track and Field Championship. More than 640 athletes from 31 schools competed in a range of athletic pursuits from high jump to 4 X 100 relays as part of a new athletic opportunity offered this year to Board
students. “It think it was great for the kids because this meet attracted teams from 31 schools from across the Board – including some from our smallest elementary schools,” said Co-Convener and TISS Principal Don Lewis. “For many, it exposed them to a calibre of competition that they hadn’t seen before. “All of the kids got a sense of what kind of competition they will face down the road board-wide
and this will have a rollover effect because when they get into high school they’ll know what to expect. It will help them prepare for meets such as OFSAA and EOSSAA.” The top Grade 7 female athlete in the meet was Stephanie Leask, of Char-Lan District High School, who placed first in the 100-metre dash and 400-metre dash, and second in the 200-metre dash. Top Grade 8 female athlete was Madelynn Meeke,
ACAG students enjoy sweet revenge EMC Sports - The students of Académie catholique Ange-Gabriel enjoyed the unique opportunity to take sweet revenge on their teachers and school principals during a special year-end activity on Thursday, June 13. The students purchased cream pies and pails of cold water, which they then joyously threw at their willing victims. Hoots and hollers and sweet revenge for enduring a school year of tests and assignments! The activity raised $175, which will be donated to the YMCA’s annual Strong Kids Campaign. The school’s student government wishes to thank all staff members for being such great sports.
of Athens District High School. Meeke placed first in the 800-metre and 1500-metre event, and second in the 400-metre event. The top Grade 7 male athlete was Toby Schwartz, of Char-Lan District High School, who was first in the 800-metre and 1500-metre events, and fourth in the 400-metre event. Top Grade 8 male athlete honours were shared by David Morton of Almonte and District High
School, and Zeren Tuna, of Thousand Islands Secondary School. Morton placed first in the 400–metre event, and second in the 100-metre and 200-metre races. Tuna topped the field in high jump, while placing second in the 400-metre race and long jump. Honours for top overall school in the competition went to TISS. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.
Group shares story of canoe trip EMC Events - The Rideau Roundtable in collaboration with Hotel Kenney would like to invite the general public to an upcoming presentation “Canadian Wildlife Federation - Capital to Capitol”. The presentation is from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. Saturday June 22 at the Historic Hotel Kenney, on the Rideau Canal, 59 Kenney Road, Jones Falls, Elgin, Ont., http://www.hotelkenney.com. In September and October 2012, a group of people paddled in a Voyageur canoe 1800 km from Ottawa to Washington D.C. to advocate for clean and healthy river systems. Twenty-five canoeists participated, five of which made the whole journey. Along the way there were many adventures. Everyone is invited to meet many of the participants, learn more about the trip, its very important purpose, what they learned. Admission is free. Donations will be gladly accepted to support the work of the Rideau Roundtable.
